Dr. Manjusha Vikrant Pate
With over 18 years of dedicated Ayurvedic practice, I have focused extensively on treating skin and hair disorders, integrating classical Panchakarma therapies with individualized care. A major aspect of my clinical approach involves Upakarma procedures—supportive therapies within Panchakarma—which I customize based on each patient’s Prakriti (constitutional type). I believe true healing begins when treatments are aligned with the body’s natural balance, and this philosophy guides every aspect of my work. My specialization includes the preparation and use of Ayurvedic formulations that I personally design, including face packs, hair packs, body oils, and facial oils—each one carefully selected and recommended according to the patient’s specific dosha and skin/hair condition. These formulations are result-oriented and rooted in time-tested Ayurvedic principles, ensuring safe, natural, and sustainable outcomes. In my practice, Ayurvedic facials are more than just cosmetic procedures; they are therapeutic treatments tailored to the unique constitution of each individual, aiming to restore inner and outer harmony. By incorporating dosha-based skincare routines and traditional beauty therapies, I help patients achieve visible improvement in conditions like pigmentation, acne, hair fall, and premature aging—without relying on chemical-based solutions. My goal is to blend classical Ayurveda with a practical, patient-focused approach. Whether managing chronic skin concerns, offering customized herbal solutions, or delivering rejuvenative Panchakarma therapies, I ensure each treatment is deeply personalized, holistic, and rooted in authentic Ayurvedic wisdom.

Acne and related pigmentation can be quite frustrating, especially when they seem to persist despite previous treatments. In Ayurveda, we'd look at this situation through the lens of dosha imbalances—often, acne is linked with aggravated pitta dosha, which governs heat and metabolism, contributing to inflammation and excess oil production. First, let's address some dietary changes to help balance pitta. Try to incorporate more cooling foods into your diet, such as cucumber, melon, and leafy greens. Avoid spicy, fermented, and oily foods which tend to aggravate pitta. Opt for whole grains over refined ones and drink plenty of water infused with cooling herbs like mint or fennel seeds. Lifestyle adjustments are also significant. Regularly engage in stress-reducing activities like yoga or meditation, as stress can exacerbate pitta imbalances and, consequently, acne. Ensure you get enough sleep, as poor rest can contribute to imbalanced hormones and breakouts. For topical care, you may consider a natural paste made of turmeric and sandalwood. These ingredients are known for their anti-inflammatory and cooling properties. Make a paste with a small amount of each mixed with rose water and apply it to the affected areas a few times a week. Another routine is to gently exfoliate with a mixture of chickpea flour and milk once a week. This can help remove dead skin cells and reduce pigmentation over time. Attention to digestion is crucial. Incorporate more bitter and astringent tastes in your meals, as they help reduce excess heat in the body. You could also consider taking triphala at bedtime, as it supports digestion and detoxification. If these issues persist or worsen, it may be beneficial to consult with an Ayurvedic practitioner who can provide personalized guidance based on your unique constitution. Remember, consistency and patience in your efforts are key, as natural approaches often take time to show results.
